swissnex is a network of science and technology outposts aimed at connecting Switzerland with the world's innovative hubs. The network is managed by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) in cooperation with the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). There are currently six swissnex locations: Boston (2000), San Francisco (2003), Singapore (2004-2015, ceased operations), Shanghai, China (2007), Bangalore, India (2011) and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2013). Since 2003, the network has relied on public and private funding (one-third SER, two-thirds from other sources). Each swissnex offers a variety of services to Swiss companies, academics, policy-makers, and others. SERI also maintains and develops a worldwide network of science & technology counselors (STC) sharing the swissnex mission. For the moment, twelve STC counselors work at selected Swiss Embassies. Recognized among politicians and administrators, the network is very present on the front of innovation and technology cooperation. Its implication for the Swiss economy and research are however so far unclear compared to the costs of such a network. The choice for the locations of swissnex outposts is questionable: Europe seems to be forgotten.〔Jahresbericht 2006 über die Schweizer Häuser für wissenschaftlichen und technologischen Austausch〕 ==swissnex India== swissnex India, Consulate General of Switzerland is located in India's startup capital and education hub: Bangalore, close to the central business district.
